hi, why does the following not work: tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep something | while read i; do myprog $i; done
i basically need to run myprog as soon as a new entry in syslog happens that matches the criteria of the grep call. it needs to happen immediately. thanks, martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "the human brain is like an enormous fish -- it is flat and slimy and has gills through which it can see." -- monty python
